Residentie Europacentrum, Modern residential skyscraper in Ostend, Belgium.
Description
Residentie Europacentrum is a modern residential tower standing approximately 104 meters tall with 33 floors of steel and glass construction. The building combines apartments with commercial spaces at ground level and five dedicated parking levels serving residents and visitors.
History
Construction took place from 1967 to 1969 under architect L. Sorée's design, replacing Ostend's former city theater. This project reflected the post-war modernization of the coastal city.
Culture
The ground floor contains shops and dining options that bring together locals and visitors. This mix of retail and food establishments creates a social hub where people naturally gather.
Practical
The building sits just 80 meters from the beach, making it convenient for visitors exploring both the waterfront and the city center. Ample parking across five dedicated levels simplifies access whether arriving by car or foot.
